If you're in tl;dr mode: use carbon paste on the bar/clamp interface, thoroughly grease the stem bolts and tighten them to the stem spec of 4 N-m. Remember to snug the bolts against the clamp until they're finger tight and then apply those 4 N-m in sequence and slowly. In other words, turn each clamp bolt roughly one turn at a time, alternating in an X-shaped pattern.

Thanks folks. My example was made up, but in the manual for my Zipp SL bars it does indicate a max torque for it. I've also seen other carbon parts without threaded parts to have torque limits. That's what I was asking about. But it was answered. I will use the lower number. Thanks.

Specifying a torque value for a non-threaded part hints strongly at incompetent engineering. (Or, more charitably, a moment of extreme engineering sloppiness).

A torque value is meaningless without thread pitch. This is equivalent to specifying a maximum speed in meters. In both cases, the value is means nothing on its own and more information is required.

I'm glad you found the information you needed. While using the lower torque value, I'd still check very carefully to ensure that all parts are secure. At best, a handlebar that slips while riding is irritating. At worst, it causes a crash.
